kek batik or marie biscuit cake

there are many variations of this cake. seriously, u'll have a big headache contemplating which one to follow. so i follow my heart. i adapt from here and there.

recipe 1

recipe 2

recipe 3

INGREDIENTS:
100g milo
25g cocoa powder
125ml boiling water
190g butter
sweetened condensed milk (i do not measure, i pour until the sweetness level is to my liking)
5 eggs, lightly beaten
250g Marie biscuits ( 1 whole packet )

vanilla essence ( i don't remember if i put this )

some recipes stated sugar but i decided to omit it. our sweetness level is quite low ;)



small marie biscuit. RM 2.30/ packet



butter : wood dunn brand! I've never noticed this in the West. some blogs vouched for this butter!

err, we don't have much preference for this. somehow, i still prefer Anchor ;)




Steps:

1. melt the butter in the wok.

2. add in milo, cocoa powder, boiling water and egg into it. stir.

3. pour in sweetened condensed milk.




4. stir until the mixture becomes thick or custard-like.

5. turn off the heat. add in the biscuits. some recipes suggested to break the biscuits into smaller pieces/ halve them but i did not. i threw them in whole. Mix them until all the biscuits are coated.



6. transfer them to a mould and press/compress the batter.

7. cool it and refrigerate it, until like 4-5 hours or so? minimum.



8. bring out from the fridge, over turn the mould and u'll get the cake! slice it and voila!

truly simple eh?

i started goggling for this recipe because there was once when dh took home 6 cans of condensed milk! hence i have to think of ways to get rid of it before it hits the expiry date!

smart right? ;P
